Catching up
Looks like my (very) brief post from yesterday got munched. Oh. Well. It went like this:
Working on Scandal. Back to it.That is still a true statement. I'm having it read back to me. Catching a lot of pesky typos and fixing a lot of continuity stuff. I have this habit of (need to?) moving stuff around, and then I forget where things are and either don't delete or don't conform enough to the new (for now) home. There's a lot of that in this one. To quote my favorite TV show ever (
::Adrian Paul::) Highlander:
There can be only one. Meaning, typically, your characters can only meet for the first time once, not once in each of 5 to 6 chapters. Sheesh. Looks bad, you know? So I'm fixing that.
The best part is that little things are getting settled and elicited. Things that make a story resonate. Which is better than if it sucks. Back to work.
